Wow. Time flies. Has it been three days since I’ve reviewed an episode? Still not really used to this whole binge dump process. It does make it harder to review things, I can tell you that.

We’ve had three passable episodes in a row. Sure, they haven’t been as on fire as the first few episodes of other series, but I still don’t think they are as bad as was reported. They’ve been fun, and I’ve been interested in seeing where the story is going. But, with this episode, I think … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Iron Fist s01e04: Eight Diagram Dragon Palm
I took a look at the title of this episode and after the more pastoral titles of episodes one and two, i was thinking that this would be were things jump off and turn insane. Well, that wasn’t the case. It was more interesting that episode 2, maybe not as much as episode 1. Iron … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Iron Fist s01e03: Rolling Thunder Cannon Punch
After so many negative reviews, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the first episode. But what will episode 2 bring?

A new Marvel Netflix show is out, and the major difference is that it is being panned by the critics.

Iron Fist … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Iron Fist s01e01: Snow Gives Way
The newest Marvel Netflix Show, Iron Fist, is set to drop. As I’ve done with Daredevil Season 2 and Luke Cage, I intend to review most of the individual episodes. With both of those past series, and really all of the Netflix shows, I’ve felt they’ve started strong but ultimately finished weak. I didn’t even … More Upcoming Iron Fist Reviews
Last episode suffered from a lack of forward momentum. This episode solves that problem, but might not be that much of a better episode. Luke Cage s01e08 Blowin’ Up the Spot Writer: Aïda Mashaka Croal Director: Magnus Martens Netflix Quick Review: Things are moving. Characters are conspiring. Plans are progressing. Kind of. But the writing suffers. Things that … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Luke Cage s01e08 Blowin’ Up the Spot

Luke Cage s01e07 Manifest Writer: Akela Cooper Director: Andy Goddard Quick Review: Let’s split this episode into two different parts. The first part (compromising all but the last five or so minutes) was basically just confirming … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Luke Cage s01e07 Manifest
So this episode, yeah, it is starting that dangerous trend that these Marvel Netflix shows have had.

A lot of the Marvel shows have started quite … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Luke Cage s01e06 Suckas Need Bodyguards
Every time I see Sonja Sohn in a show my first thought is “Kima!” If that doesn’t mean anything to you then stop watching Luke Cage and go watch The Wire. It’s not that one is better than the other. It’s just that The Wire is much, much better than almost any other TV series. … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Luke Cage s01e05 Just to Get a Rep
